    Could the queen had done something legitimate to tell the PM to fuck off?

    I was under the impression the UK makes bank off the Royal family due to all the tourism it generates.

    Yeah, I remember someone working out that even with whatever tourism they bring in the Royal Family generally cost the UK money and France generally eclipses them in tourism anyway.

    Enough Conservative MPs have defected from Johnson's party that he no longer has a majority in government.

    Aaaaaand defeated. Parliament can now vote tomorrow to block the October no-deal Brexit, Johnson has "threatened" to call a general election if that happens and take the Brexit case to the people. Sounds like an excuse to get out of the mess altogether.

    i don't see that a general election would bring any more clarity to an issue that has intractably divided country and Parliament but at this point what else can these feeble governments do.

    You can watch it on twitch, https://www.twitch.tv/ukparliament
    Someone apparently bought license from BBC, to stream the broadcast on Twitch.
    You can sub for a Bercow AWWW-DAAA emote.
    Apparently Parliament and Twitch chat are a match made in heaven

    Ever since the 2016 GOP Convention was streamed on twitch I've been a huge proponent that all politics need to be on twitch.

    This shit is amazing.

    I'm guessing the US House and Senate aren't a whole lot better, but the British Parliament seems like a complete shit show. It's amazing.

    the US legislature has rules of decorum that prevent it, and afaik, breaking those rules is one of the few things that will get the whole membership to come down on their head.

    We also have a lot more money keeping everyone in line. The real work of passing laws that our lobbyists want gets done smoothly. Everything else is a shit show to keep the idiot masses distracted.

    bill to block no-deal Brexit passed easily, they're currently debating amendments and it still has to go through the House of Lords but barring some shocking mass defection it's done. BoJo almost certainly finna call for a general election in response which would in essence be another referendum on Brexit. spicy island times.

    Galaxy brain take is this was the plan all along to give them an out on a second referendum without completely ignoring the first one.
